Hometown Christmas

This movie hits the expectations for a lifetime movie with the cliches, predictable romances and Christmas nostalgia

Most of the tv christmas movies are corny with bad acting, but this one was enjoyable. It was nice to see Beverly Mitchell in a movie again. The acting was surprisingly good. A nice Christmas love story.

Like most low budget Christmas films that are mostly full of wooden acting. I felt that they should have had the script in front of them because it definitely gave me the impression of 'acting'. Why do they bother to waste the celluloid it surely can't return its outlay. Oh and the singing! that's when I turned off. Give it a miss!

Got home from work early and came across a ton of holiday movies on Lifetime and Hallmark channel. This one follows the cheesy holiday movie formula quite nicely. Best of all, it stars one of my favorite actresses of all time: Melissa Gilbert. I'm a Little House on the Prairie fan for life!

However I nerded out and froze the frame where Noelle sees the article about Nick. The authors of this fake website forgot to use spell check. They forgot an "S" in "Russell", used "collage" instead of "college" twice and forgot to follow the grammar rule "i before e, except after c" in the word received. Then again, I may be the only viewer to freeze a screen and spend time reading the text on a fake website.

Aside from that. Loved the movie!!

My biggest disappointment with this movie is at about 1hr, 17 mins in. The lead is reading the Christmas Story from the Gospel of Luke chap 2. When she reads "For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior," she abruptly omits the words, "who is Christ the Lord." Yeah, kind of the whole point of the story...
